• A University of Ghana student called out 'campus hustlers' for selling early in the morning, explaining that they disrupted her sleep

• Her heartfelt plea to traders outside campuses sparked massive online reactions as netizens shared their relatable experiences

A University of Ghana (Legon) student has sparked online conversations after appealing to 'campus hustlers' to quit early morning sales in hostels.

In a TikTok video shared on her handle, @angel_vanessa07, she explained that the sellers frequently disrupt her and the other Legon students.

According to Angel, the noise generated by traders selling right at students' doorsteps in the early hours has made it difficult for her to rest.

“We are reopening. Legon hustlers who always come to our doors early in the morning must stop. You disturb us. We are unable to sleep,” she said emphatically.
